The Chicago Blackhawks decided to part ways with their franchise goalie earlier this offseason, and it still doesn’t add up.
While I understand that goaltending is a position Chicago had little depth at before this offseason outside of goalie Corey Crawford, I really do not understand the team’s decision to let him walk. Sure, Chicago wanted to keep their salary cap flexibility, but in the short term, Crawford was the answer for the Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks need all the help they can get to be respectable on the ice while rebuilding.
